Do Ahead Baked French Toast

This is great for company. It will make them think you eat breakfasts like this all the time! (insert hysterical laughter here)

Place 6 – 7 slices of French bread in the bottom of a greased pan. Top with mixture of 5 eggs, beaten, 1 ½ cup milk, 2 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
For topping, combine 4 Tbsp. soft butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup walnuts. Save.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread topping over the bread. Bake 40 minutes. Let set 10 minutes. Serve with syrup.
